Prospect Weekend Reads
Week of July 25th
Stories from the week you don't want to miss!
ILLUSTRATION BY SARAH ANGÃLE WILSON
Abolish State Senates
: State senates
are redundant. Legislatures based solely on single-member districts are
undemocratic. Editor-at-large Harold Meyerson proposes we scrap them
both.
Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer Have a Surprise for You
:
At long last, negotiations with Joe Manchin have seemingly led somewhere
- a smaller-than-promised, but still sizable agreement on health care,
taxing corporations, and climate. Read Executive Editor David Dayen on
what's in the Inflation Reduction Act and whether it matters.
Why We Need Social Housing
:
The private market will not provide an adequate solution to the housing
crisis. Rent is often the largest expense for many American families. To
make housing a human right, Ramenda Cyrus argues, we need social
housing.
A Four-Day Week at Five Days' Pay
: American
workers are putting too many hours at the job despite stagnating wages.
Read Sarah Jaffe on why we need a four-day workweek.
It's Time for Public Pharma
: The COVID-19
pandemic showed how our privatized health care system is incapable of
providing adequate care. Staff Writer Alexander Sammon wrote about how
public manufacturing of prescription drugs would remove the profit
motive from delivering essential medication.
